I have this 3 in 1 lantern, and really like it. I have an older dog, and use the nightlight mode to keep an eye on her at night, it's just the right brightness and the amber LED nightlight does not bother me and I think better for a nightlight. I just recently ran the batteries down pretty low and had to recharge for the first time.
I do have a question, it seems 1 of the 4 Hybrids took quite a bit less of a charge than the other 3. Three of them were around 1600, while one was about 1275. Does this 4 battery light drain one battery / position in the holder more than others, or should I more closely check my batteries. The 4 batteries have been evenly matched since they were new about 5 months ago.
I also bought around the same time the 3 in 1, 3 D lantern(which lasts forever), and the Coast 4 AA (which I really like the dimming ability). I was set on buying 1 lantern, and came home with 3 in a 2 day period.
